ABOUT THIS POLICY

Boardwalk is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible way. This policy outlines how we aim to achieve this and includes the information collected when:

DEFINITION OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal Data means any data that relates to an identifiable person who can be directly/indirectly identified from that data. In this case, it means personal data that you give to us via our site.

By providing your personal data, you agree that we can use your personal data in accordance with this policy. We collect, use and retain Personal Information about you only to the extent that is reasonably required to conduct our business effectively.

Ensure you understand this policy in its entirety and take your time to read it.

HOW DO YOU GET MY CONSENT?

When you provide us with personal information to purchase a voucher or sign up for our newsletter, we assume you understand that your data must be collected to process your request. We will use your data for processing purposes only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will ask you directly for your expressed consent via a form checkbox.

How Do We Collect Information From You?

WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOU:

  • sign up to our newsletter. If you sign up for our newsletter, which is administered through Mailchimp, we will store some of your information, including your email address, IP address and certain information about the links you click within the emails we send you, on a Mailchimp server. Neither we nor Mailchimp will ever sell your email address or share it with any other party, unless we are legally compelled to do so. If you contact Mailchimp directly regarding your subscription to our newsletter, Mailchimp may contact you directly; otherwise, Mailchimp will never contact you. Only authorized Mailchimp employees have access to our subscriber list. You are always free to unsubscribe from our newsletter and can do so through a link on the email newsletters you have received, or by contacting us directly.
  • when you purchase a gift voucher from our website. To fulfil your order, we will require you to complete our online form that requests your contact details and address, before requesting payment through the PayPal payment gateway.
    Payment:
    All payments made via PayPal adhere to the data protection laws in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. For more insight, read PayPal’s Privacy Policy online.
  • make an enquiry through the contact form on our site. Information shared with us via our contact form is strictly confidential and will be shared only with relevant parties involved. We delete all emails once we have no business reason to keep them, or every three years, whichever timeframe is less.

WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS COLLECTED FROM YOU?

You will be asked to submit personal information about yourself when you fill in our contact form, purchase a gift voucher or sign up for our newsletter. We will collect this information so we can fulfil your request as required.
We typically collect all or some of the following information:

  • title
  • name
  • e-mail address
  • home or work address
  • telephone number
  • marketing preferences (whether you opt-in or opt-out)

WHEN YOU ACCESS OUR WEBSITE, BOARDWALK COLLECTS:

  • a nugatory amount of data, which is automatically collected by our web server access log records. Access log records collect and store information based on IP addresses and access request date/time. We host our website on Namesco servers. Namesco is fully compliant with Data Protection laws, although the basic information they store is not user-specific and cannot be used to identify an individual. We have never had reason to access these logs as we use Google Analytics performance cookies to display more advanced access and usage data in a user-friendly dashboard which we (and our web agency) can more easily interpret.

We use Google Analytic cookies to gather and display information relating to

  • device type (e.g. mobile, computer, tablet)
  • operating system
  • browser type
  • browser information (e.g., type, language, version)
  • domain names
  • access times and dates
  • location (country + city/town)
  • referring website addresses

All data gathered, processed and displayed by Google Analytics cookies is randomised and can never by traced to an individual.

Please email boardwalk@cawleyhotels.com if you would no longer like us to hold your records at any time.

HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION USED?

Our use of your personal data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary to complete an order, because you have consented to our use of your personal data (e.g. by subscribing to emails), or because it is in our legitimate interests.

USE OF ‘COOKIES’

Like many other websites, we use cookies. We use them to help you personalise your online experience.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server which allows the website to recognise you when you visit. Cookies only collect data about browsing actions and patterns, and do not identify you as an individual.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Performance and analytics: We use Google Analytic (tag manager) cookies to help us analyse how our web pages are being accessed and used. We also use cookies to provide insights such as page views, conversion rates, device information, visitor IP addresses, and referral sites.
  • Third Parties: Third Party services may use cookies to help you sign into their services from our services. Any third party cookie usage is governed by the Privacy Policy of the third party placing the cookie.

OPTING OUT

You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the third party services on our website.

WHAT HAPPENS IF OUR BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS?

We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of our business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part. The new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by us.

In the event that any of your data is to be transferred in such a manner, you will not be contacted in advance and informed of the changes.

CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT

We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect company and customer feedback. Boardwalk encourages you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how we are protecting your information. This policy was last updated in April 2019.
